Senator Betsy Johnson (D-OR) will help dedicate a new fishing dock on Slusher Lake at Camp Rilea in Warranton, Ore., at 1:00 p.m., on Monday, July 23, 2007. This event coincides with a week of activities planned for Camp Rosenbaum.

Camp Rosenbaum is an annual Youth Citizenship Camp organized by the Oregon National Guard, Housing Authorities of Oregon and Southwest Washington, the Portland Police Bureau, and other public safety and non-government organizations. The nationally-recognized camp hosts approximately 170 at-risk youth, ages 9 - 11 from around the Willamette Valley, Astoria and Portland-Vancouver Metro area. The children enjoy a week of fun-filled activities designed to boost self-confidence and self-determination, while learning citizenship skills in teamwork and sharing.
